Thanos kills him. DD also failed against Imperiex and prior to and hasn't adapted past these beings either. Adapting to a technopath isn't anywhere near as impressive as you are making it out to be and henshaw being an anomaly to nekron isn't the same as being formidable either.
And thanos was killed by an antimatter bomb. Neither one has suffered permanent death in their most recent appearances (sc included). There isn't much of a difference between their ressurection feats actually when you really think about it. Henshaw just has more that are quicker and less "agonizink" (as the little talking dog would put it) tbh.
Who you kill has no bearing on who you can copy. DD's powers were able to recognize, copy, and improve the abilities of something that was unrecognizable to death, copied the source wall (barrier between universes and holder of the old gods) and oan tech among other things. Again, there is no indication that he couldn't copy thanos. Would you say the same of Amazo?
Also. Sidenote, you said a universe where Death didn't exist. Death was with thanos. So yeah, she existed, just in an alternate (to the cancerverse) and hidden form within or with thanos at the time.
Lol @ comparing thanos' power output to Imperiex's btw. I could see DD without henshaw's abilities regenerating anyway. With henshaw's abilities, I don't see why this wouldn't just be a never-ending kill-fest. That's all assuming that DD knows how to turn off his adaptation ability. DD with thanos' powers can definitely win.
